I am sure most of the other moms are all botoxed up too.

Yeah, I don't think Botox is such a big deal anymore. A lot of people do it or have done it. I don't think anyone would be ashamed if people knew they did it. God bless the amazing qualities of botulism!

exactly. i wouldn't have batted an eye at anyone buying that. I don't know anyone who isn't botoxed up anymore. Hell, I'd buy that if it was a good deal. I don't care who knows I get botox.

^ North Arl is filled with swingers, and key parties and all the rest.

Well, if true, I would have newfound respect for north Arlington.

Can we please hear more crazy stories please? I liked Botox mom, and am sure she's not the only one.

I will also point out that my neighborhood listserv is filled with people selling things they bid on. One neighbor, who is drunk every day past 5, bid on a party venue for her kids, who were way too young. As in the venue was for 6 year olds and up and her kids were 3. She told me she didn't even remember what happened!

It's weird. I would be completely annoyed if we had this at our school, but a bake sale is essentially the same model and it doesn't annoy me.

We try to make our baskets out of donated things, or at least discounted stuff.

Or you could just have parents donate directly. I'd prefer that.

Our school offered a botox treatment once. No one bid on it.

Botox does well at our school.

The vasectomy was a hot item at our auction a few years ago...

pics or it didn't happen!

I think PP is joking...

I am not sue why people keep insisting it was a joke. I am not sure about the person who posted first about the vasectomy, but the item was at the auction this year at one of the JKLM school (where my kids go, saw it with my eyes).
